Al-Baqyat Al-Salihat Association is an Islamic charitable organization established by Alba al-Kahlawi, dean of Islamic and Arabic Studies at Al Azjar University Women’s College, who was named one of the 500 Most Influential Muslims in 2009 for her work on religion and women. The Association provides care in Mokattam free of charge for orphaned children and cancer and Alzheimer’s patients; sponsors charitable missions for destitute, widowed, and divorced women; and sends medical convoys to provide care in villages and slums across Egypt.

Authorized Dealer A to Z Engineering Solutions, the first Reliable Controls dealer in Egypt, installed a Reliable Controls system in the Al-Baqyat Al-Salihat Association hospital to control eight air-handling units and seven exhaust fans. A MACH-ProCom BACnet Building Controller, expanded with four MACH-ProPoint Input modules, achieves the optimum balance between form and function with its extensive network-routing ability, highly scalable inputs and outputs, and small size. A to Z connected six SMART-Sensor devices to the SMART-Net port on the MACH-ProCom to deliver a modern-sensor solution that allows building occupants to connect with up to 10 configurable parameters related to space. The MACH-ProCom also facilitates network communication between the hospital’s local area network and Wi-Fi switch. 

A MACH-ProView LCD controller connected to the Wi-Fi switch provides a number of attractive, high-resolution graphical interfaces to the building automation system that allow users to access, control, and monitor the comfort and energy in the building at a glance. Operators can configure and use unique EQUIPMENTviews that display information on HVAC equipment energy consumption, occupant comfort, and more.

A to Z used RC-Studio software to design, develop, and deploy the hospital’s new building automation system in a short amount of time and on a limited budget. This easy-to-use BACnet Advanced Operator Workstation is the ultimate all-in-one engineering tool from Reliable Controls to help facility managers improve operational efficiency, increase comfort and engagement, and achieve their sustainability goals. 

Alba al-Kahlawi passed away in 2021 after infection with COVID-19. A to Z and Reliable Controls are proud to help continue her legacy with our work on this project.
